Keep Out of the Past.

Keep out of the past For its highways
Are damp with malaria gloom;
It's gardens are sere and its forests are drear,
And everywhere molders q tomb
Who seeks to regain its lost pleasures
Finds only rose turned to dust
And its storehouse of wonderful treasures
Is covered and coated with rust
Keep out of the past 1t is haunted;
He who in its avenue gropes
Shall find there the ghost of a joy priced the
most,
And Il skeleton throng of dead hopes.
In place of its beautiful rivers
Lie pools that are stagnant with slime,
And those graves cleaning white in the phos
phorus light
Cover dreams that were slain in their prime.
Keep out of the past It is lonely
And barren and bleak to the view;
Its fires have grown cold and its stories are old
Turn, turn to the present. the newt
To-day leads you up TO the hilltops
That are kissed by the radiant sun;
To-day shows no tomb-all life's hopes are in
bloom
And to-day holds prize to be won.

A Chance for Sanitary Work.

There was a good deal of talk day or
two ago about cleaning up the city. There
ought to be work as well as talk. The re-
moving of garbage from the streets is not
all that is necessary to be done in order to
put the city in first-class sanitary condition.
There have been complaints of offensive
odors arising from outbuildings and vaults
in the older part of the city. These places
are so old and SO saturated with the filth of
years that no amount of disinfectants
will put them in a harmless condition
As rule, they are on premises rented by
the room, and crowded with people. All
the filth, Stops and soap-suds go into these
receptacles, to become offensive and danger
Gus to the public health, under the influence
of the summer sun. People living in the
vicinity of these places keep as far from
them as they can, because they are not only
offensive but also because sickness has been
traced to them.
These places should be thoroughly in
spected by persons competent for the work,
and the Sanitary Board should see to it that
they are put in good sanitary condition
Those who own the premises ON which they
are situated should be made TO bear the
expenses of the abatement of such danger
GUS nuisances. Whatever sanitary work of
this sort that is to be done should be done at
once.

The Prohibition Idea Abroad.

A committee of i-prohibitionists from
Texas is visiting Western cities SOLICITING
subscriptions from brewers, distillers and
wholesale liquor dealers, with which to fight
prohibition in their State They say that
unless they make very vigorous campaign
they will be beaten. The vote on the pro-
hibition amendment to the constitution is to
be taken in August, and the Prohibitionists
are already organized, and are making the
liveliest sort of a campaign. In the towns
the liquor men are certain of majorities, but
in the country districts they are outnum-
bered more than two to one
The chief trouble the liquor men are ex-
periencing at present is that of getting good
campaign speakers. There appears to be an
impression that there is big fund some
where in the keeping of the anti-Prohibi-
tionists, and the best speakers want big pay
for going on the stump. The fact is said to
be, however, that the liquor men are with
out funds The Texas saloon men have
been taxed so often and so heavily lately to
prevent the enactment of hostile laws that
they are poor.
The committee that is soliciting help in
Western cities doesn't meet with a great
deal of success 1t is told by the brewers
and distillers that the prohibition idea is
abroad in about all the States, and that they
are unable TO answer all the calls upon them
for help.
1t is expected that the prohibition issue in
Texas will hurt the Democratic party pretty
badly there, though if the party keeps out of
the contest it is difficult to see why it should
be harmed Democrats are divided on the
liquor issue, but that need not keep them
apart on other State issues or upon national
issues.

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1887-06-16

The MORNING NEWS will begin the pub
location next Sunday of a very bright and
intensely interesting story, entitled Mora
of the Adirondacks" by Anne E. Ellis. This
story was written for the MORNING News.
and it will be found to be well worth read
ing. 1t contains thirty eight chapters, and
grows in interest with each chapter. The
Presidents annual fishing excursion to the
Adirondacks lends new interest to that Sec
ton of country, and story in which some
of its features are described can hardly fail
to be appreciated.

An effort is to be made at the approach
ing session of the Legislature to have strin-
gent laws passed for the protection of terra
pin. 1t is stated that they are rapidly dis
appearing in this section of the country, and
the reason is that they are caught in large
numbers Immediately prior to and during
the laying season. few weeks ago the
MORNING News published some facts bear
ing upon the disappearance of the terrapin
from our waters, furnished by Dr. Falligant.
The doctor lately addressed a communica-
ton to the Fish Commissioner of the State,
and it is expected that that official will have
the matter brought before the Legislature,
and will at the same time present such argu-
ments and facts in favor of affording pro-
lection to terrapin during their laying sea-
son that laws will be enacted ON the subject
which will meet with very general APP
proval.
There is quite a large number of persons
engaged in catching terrapin in the vicinity
of this city. 1t is estimated that between
$4,000 and $500 worth of them are taken
to market every year. This estimate indi-
Gates that a good many families, partly OF
wholly, depend upon them for living. It
is apparent, therefore, that those who make
business of catching them are more inter
ested i'll having them protected from being
caught out of season than those who only
enjoy them as an article of food. In locali-
ties where they were once plentiful they are
now becoming quite scarce. They will be-
come still more scarce if they are permitted
to be taken in future with the same disre-
gard of the laws of their propagation as at
present.
The laying season of the terrapin includes
May, June and July, during which period
they lay several times-seven or eight eggs
at time. When they are caught in March
and April their natural product, which is
from twenty to thirty young terrapin to
each old one in May, June and July, is
totally lost to future supply and increase.
The very general conclusion reached by the
fishermen is that no terrapin should be
caught between Jan. l and July Is. At the
latter date the laying season is about over.
The dealers advocate the catching of ter
rapin in the spring. 1t is apparent, how
ever, that if permission to catch them at
any time between the dates named is grant
ed the object aimed at by protection laws
will not be accomplished. If they are per-
mitted to becaught at any time between Jan.
and May they will be brought to market
in May and June under the pretense that
they were caught prior to May l. The only
safe plan is to prohibit the catching of them
between JAN l and July Is, and fishermen
will willingly assist in enforcing such pro
hibition.

The New York Herald is authority for
the statement that Wewha, the Zuni
priestess, who was in Washington so long
last year, greatly admires President Cleve-
land. She wants him to have a second
term, and when she returned TO her home
prayed that he might continue in Office. She
induced the Zunis to hold a Cleveland
nominating convention, at which the whole
tribe prayed that he might have another
term. 1t rained next day, which the tribe
considered n favorable answer to the
prayers. The President, it seems, has
treated the Zunis kindly, and has given
them an honest agent.

In craftily worded editorial the New
York EueniRg SIN vainly tries to prove
that the girls of New York are as beautiful
as those of Savannah, and then throws this
sop to the latter: "Then, too the stately
and most dignified girls of Savannah are no
doubt well worthy of the admiration of all
who behold them, and none would acllnowl-
edge these merits sooner than those who
observe the beautiful young women who are
TO be found any fine afternoon upon Four
teenth street or Twenty third" Acknovl-
edge these merits, indeed If the Erening
Sun win send one of its young men TO
Savannah he may behold any fine afternoon
upon Bull and Broughton streets such
vison of female loneliness as will cause him
to declare that the girls of New York have
never come within touching distance of
beauty.
